Dora l'exploratrice

This is an excellent show for children to see. It's not an adult show, but it get's the children to learn how to count and to even understand Spanish. It is kind of stupid when it talks to swiper and boots, but it's definately a childrens show. My son loves to watch Dora, he repeats what she says, and he can count to 10 now on his own!I highly recommend this show for children to see! You have to see it to understand, but it's not a show for an adult, it's a show for kids!

I grew up watching Dora, and it left me with mixed feelings. While the show had some excellent moments, it fell short of my expectations in some ways.

On the positive side, I appreciated the bright and colorful animation, which was visually engaging and added to the show's overall fun and playful atmosphere. It would appeal to young children, who may draw their attention to the vibrant imagery and whimsical aesthetic.

However, on the negative side, I found the storyline somewhat predictable and lacking substance. While there were undoubtedly some exciting moments and adventures, I couldn't shake the feeling that I had seen it all before. Additionally, some characters felt underdeveloped and one-dimensional, making it challenging to engage with their stories and motivations fully.

Overall, I would give Dora the Explorer a 4 out of 10 stars. While it may be entertaining for young children drawn to the visual style and playful tone, it lacks the depth and complexity to make it truly enjoyable for older audiences. If you're looking for a show that will challenge your thinking or inspire deeper conversations, there may be a better one for you.

Why do adults feel the need to get on here and critique a children's show. It isn't made for adults. It isn't going to capture the attention of adults. It's going to seem annoying to adults. That's because the target audience isn't adults. Dora was made to teach children an alternate language and help them with problem solving and it did exactly that. Yes, Dora asks the audience questions (that may indeed have quite obvious answers) every five minutes but who cares! I'm not a Dora fanatic, I never even liked Dora that much but I think it's strange for people to come on here and give Dora or any children's show or movie 3 stars and say they don't like it. Of course if you're not the target audience you're most likely not going to like the product. Now I could understand if it was because the show is problematic or something but it's Dora. All she does is go on adventures with her friends and tries not to get robbed by Swiper.

This is a wonderful show for children. It's perfect for pre-schoolers and toddlers. The lessons are hidden in Dora's adventures and not force fed. In my opinion, one of the best parts of the show is the bilingual aspect. Characters speak both English and Spanish. My 20 month old can count to ten in both languages thanks to this show. The adventures are fun and interesting, with an emphasis on sharing, compromise, and interactivity. Catchy songs are interspersed with recurring themes. The repetition can be annoying for a parent, but it's just what young minds need to aid in learning. Unlike other "children's" shows, there in almost no reference to commercial tie-ins. Yes, there is Dora merchandise available, but they don't waste time or insult your intelligence pushing it on the show.

It seems that Dora feels she must yell at all times to get attention, which makes her as pleasant to listen to as fingernails on a blackboard. Even after enduring a few episodes of this show, I'm still trying to figure out what the creators think they are teaching? The few words of Spanish that are used aren't enough to form simple phrases, so why are they there? Mostly, it seems like they're trying to teach prepositions (up, down, through, etc.) and they're padding it with a few Spanish words to fill out the half-hour episode. I think her parents should keep better tabs on her and around the house more instead of letting her wander through forests and valleys all the time. That, and there's something evil about her eyes.
